The light of two different frequencies whose photons have energies 3.8eV3 . 8eV and 1.4eV1 . 4eV respectively, illuminate a metallic surface whose work function is 0.6eV0 . 6eV successively. The ratio of maximum speeds of emitted electrons for the two frequencies respectively will be :

Options

  1. A2:12: 1
  2. B4:14: 1
  3. C1:21: 2
  4. D1:41: 4

Correct answer

A. 2:12: 1

Step-by-step solution

Expression for maximum kinetic energy can be written as, {\left(KE\right)}_\max = E - ϕ

(KE)max,1=E1−ϕ=3.8−0.6=3.2eV{\left(KE\right)}_{max, 1} = {E}_{1} - ϕ = 3 . 8 - 0 . 6 = 3 . 2eV, (KE)max,2=E2−ϕ=1.4−0.6=0.8eV{\left(KE\right)}_{max, 2} = {E}_{2} - ϕ = 1 . 4 - 0 . 6 = 0 . 8eV

(KE)max,1(KE)max,2=3.20.8=4⇒4=12mv1212mv22\dfrac{{\left(KE\right)}_{max, 1}}{{\left(KE\right)}_{max, 2}} = \dfrac{3 . 2}{0 . 8} = 4 ⇒ 4 = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}{mv}_{1}^{2}}{\dfrac{1}{2}m{v}_{2}^{2}}

⇒v12v22=4⇒ {v}_{1}^{2}{v}_{2}^{2} = 4 ⇒v1v2=2:1⇒ \dfrac{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}} = 2: 1
